Hair remover



Dec. 31,1946. 5. v. HORT'ON 2,413,325

HAIR REMOVER Filed Oct. 16, 1944 Patented Dec. 31, 1946 HAIR REMOVER Stephen V. Horton, Lake Forest, 111., assignor to S. V. H. Corporation, a corporation of Illinois Application October 16, 1944, Serial No. 558,788

1 Claim. 1

This invention relates to a hair recover and more particularly to a sheet of flexible abrasive material coated with abrasive on both sides and so designed that a single sheet of the material may be formed into a mitt having four operating surfaces, front, back, inside front and inside back.

The invention is illustrated in the drawing in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the hair remover in position on the hand and Figure 2 is a plan view of the hair remover in open position.

As shown in the drawing, the hair remover comprises an integral sheet 10 coated with abrasive material H on the front and back thereof. The front of the remover is illustrated in Figure l and the back of the sheet is shown in Figure 2. The sheet is particularly thin so as to provide flexibility in spite of the fact that abrasive is applied to both sides. Interlocking means integral with the sheet and likewise coated with abrasive material are provided. The preferred interlocking means comprises a hook l2 on one edge of the sheet and a slot l3 adjacent the other edge of the sheet in corresponding relationship. When the hook is inserted in the slot, the sheet forms a mitt as indicated in Figure 1, the sheet folding along the line M. The interlock is particularly improved by the presence of the abrasive material on the hook-shaped portion l2. This abrasive material acts as a grip in preventing accidental unlocking of the mitt.

The hair remover may be used on the front and on the back of the mitt, and after these portions are worn, it may be unhooked and reversed so that the inside front and the inside back of the 2 mitt likewise become available for hair removing.

The width of the hair remover is such as-to fit the hand, but preferably is not such as to permit the fingers of the ordinary user to protrude beyond the front end thereof. It is most desirable in operation to use the tips of the fingers as the pressure medium. This has the advantage also of permitting the point of application of the mitt to be varied by moving the fingers backwardly or forwardly within the mitt, thus providing equal wear over the entire surface of the abrasive.

It is apparent that other means of interlock may be provided in the sheet, but these means should be integral with the abrasive sheet in all cases.

The foregoing detailed description is given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

A reversible hair remover comprising a single and continuous thin sheet of flexible abrasive material, having each side thereof completely coated with abrasive, and having thereon integral interlock means including a hooked tab on one edge thereof and a slot adjacent the opposed edge thereof adapted detachably and reversibly to secure the sheet into the form of a mitt with both surfaces of the entire sheet including the interlock means being coated with said abrasive, said interlock means being located at one edge of the mitt.
